You can almost hear the cogs whirring as Griffin foolishly charges into the topic of how long Justin's been married, realises he doesn't know the answer, then plays it off as a goof almost seamlessly
You have to get into a kissing friend group and then all of a sudden you find that YOU are a kissing person. Admittedly I'm European, but I've found myself a couple of times unthinkingly going for the cheek kiss with someone outside of my kissing friend group and every time I see the surprise in their eyes and I'm like "OH NOOOOOO I'M GOING FOR THE KISS WITH A NON-KISS FRIEND." But then I just give 'em a lil cheek smooch and a shoulder squeeze and you can see they're like "Oh wait, that was fine." and then you've made them into a kissing friend. Someone has to turn you into a kissing friend, like a virus, you can't just decide to initiate kisses.
close. the virus is NOT being a kissing friend. You've just cured them, brought them back to the natural healthy state of being a kissing friend. It's a modern disease, but it's a lot weaker than people think. Breaks down right away once that part of their brain goes "oh right, I actually love human contact."
I just have to say, I'm from the midwest where a hug is just a hug and I married into an italian american New York family and it is just an ordeal by fire for this nonsense. Sometimes they don't kiss, sometimes its one cheek sometimes its two, you never know. I straight up almost kissed like 5 of my husband's great aunts right on their mouths at a funeral it was hell on earth
not italian but in my country people kiss one cheek or two depending on which region they are from. and some people don't kiss at all just bc of their own personal comfort level, usually it's just socially awkward or overly serious people, and of course men who you are not close with (because they don't wanna come off as creepy) or you are but neither one of you is a kid and you are both men (because of the personal and societal homophobia). so there's a lot to weight in if you haven't already greeted that person before and saw where you two stand.
The real weird thing is when your comfortable doing some cheek kissing but you haven't established a rhythm yet so you go in for two kisses, one on each cheek, but they were only expecting one and start to pull away only to realise "shit there's another kiss coming"
I couldn't stop laughing everytime adults were mentioned specifically because I'm fifteen and all of my friends are used to getting lil smooches on the forehead and cheek. I hold hands with my friends, give em lil smooches, and hug lots. Then again, the context here could be greatly different than in other situations: I have severe anxiety and trust issues, so physical contact is a thing reserved for people I'm very close to. It helps me establish a bond with those I care about and it lets them know that I trust them. I suggest giving little kisses to your close friends- It's helped all of my friendships grow really strong and it's helped show certain boundaries with certain people. Edit: Also! My date-mate understands that physical contact is how I show trust and affection, but it's always important that you and your significant other try and understand each other and the boundaries you set when it comes to physical contact those outside of the relationship. Communication is key to any good relationship, especially when slightly intimate contact with those outside of the relationship is commonplace!
Oh my god does anyone know what episode I think Justin talks about how he kissed his real estate agent on the cheek or a side hug when they got the house or was that a fever dream
Honestly, I went in for the second sniff at least once in my life. A friend of mine had a new perfume that smelled amazing to me, which I promptly mentioned before going in again.
My main friend group easily became hugging friends because a lot of us were already hugging friends coming into the group, but I think we lowkey became a kissing friend group when while I was giving one a goodbye hug I just gave her a lil smooch on the cheek. One of the friends in this group and I have a joke rivalry for the friend who I kissed's love and affection, we always try to get her to say she loves one of us more, and we always end up hugging her a million times just to be the one to hug her most. So upon seeing this it was like a whole new world of affection, my best friend/rival was like "damn I'm going to do that too" and she did. Not including myself, there's 5 people in this group. We don't kiss super often but we did introduce the option, and in fact the last time a bunch of us hung out, in March, we gave that same friend some smooches.
I honestly put on a highlight every night when I'm going to sleep and I'll finally nod off right after it. Not having highlights for the past few days has thrown me off lmap
My love-person kisses their friends on the cheek or forehead all the time and, it was weird at first, I can't do it even though I want to, but our friends kiss too. Only one of them is from another country, so everyone else is American. Then again, none of us are straight and we all really hate the toxic masculinity and internalized isolation that our society promotes. Kiss your friends! Touch people! Have some kind of contact with those you love
Agreed on all counts! I have a sensory issue and cannot handle unexpected/uninvited physical touch very well, but my friends are huggers and are good friends who say "is it okay if I hug you" and acting according to my "yes" or "please don't". I have friends that like to hold hands or kiss cheeks and I have friends who have the same sensory issue as me and are generally less inviting to touch. I've just adapted on a person-by-person basis while always encouraging people to be voluntarily intimate with their friends. I just love this comment very much! Touch your friends (consentually)!
I kiss my close friends on the cheek when I say goodbye. I don't do it to my guy friends because I feel like they'd be super uncomfortable with it though. It would be cool if I could though.
I love smelling people i love and i am NOT SORRY about it. I can see why some people might find it weird though. Kissing people as a greeting though is totally normal, they are just awkward Americans.
My literal worst fear studying abroad was knowing it was really plausible that i would have to kiss someone on the cheek as a greeting. It happened about twice and i failed miserably both times and i like had to move past it really quickly bc if i thought about it i would have died of embarrassment. Honestly if you're going to study abroad i would recommend practicing doing the kiss on the cheek thing, note that as an acquaintance greeting you should NOT actually kiss their cheek it should be more like a kiss next to their cheek, practice this with a trusted friend bc honest to god you will either slam your head in too hard or kiss them fully on the cheek and both are so so bad
And also the ppl that do that without asking to low level acquatainces IN AMERICA are psychos with no regards to cultural norms or personal space, or worse they know full well it could make you uncomfortable and choose not to care or actively enjoy it.

I scrolled down and read this just as it was happening in the video, which was an A+ experience
Hell yeah! Awesome to see another Caddy fan in a mbmbam clip, lol.
I had a robot !!

Oh my god you're a vampire but for kissing friends

Right? Everyone else seems to just KNOW intrinsically what to do with no hiccup. I don't get it.

Yo. The whole “is it gay to kiss the homies” meme is fully a sneaky way to get around this.
One of Travis’s best bits
Came to comment this, Travis gets a lot of shit but sometimes he swings a three point fireball
The fact that Justin keeps saying grown ups and adults makes me lose my mind
you never get used to your age these days, since you never get any different treatment or responsibilities
"i did 500 dudes and 500 ladies" -travis mcelroy
Well he IS a sexpert
the bit where they say something and then say it as a name kills me every time
I take it this was before their 'KISS YOUR DAD SQUARE ON THE LIPS' awakening
Do you know what episode that is from?
@@felixc543 It's from Episode 13, actually. They got on that dad kissin' train real quick
@@sweetflips7873 fuck was it really that fast? Such a classic
Ah Grif my boy I feel your awkward allergy pain

Griffin goes full Baptist at the end there

You were VERY emotionally intelligent at fifteen Holy shit lol. Hope you're doing well!
i stopped paying attention for a while and tuned back in at "i did 500 dudes, 500 ladies" and i was midly concerned
Hi, Jim Funk, what's your story?
Oh my god does anyone know what episode I think Justin talks about how he kissed his real estate agent on the cheek or a side hug when they got the house or was that a fever dream
i think i do remember that and i can’t for the life of me remember what episode but now i need to know
Honestly, I went in for the second sniff at least once in my life. A friend of mine had a new perfume that smelled amazing to me, which I promptly mentioned before going in again.
Phew, hugs have been cancelled. Crisis averted.
I zoned out for ten seconds and "ENTER THE SMOOCHING CHAMBER" yanked me back in
This came just in time for my commute to work. Always a treat :D
My main friend group easily became hugging friends because a lot of us were already hugging friends coming into the group, but I think we lowkey became a kissing friend group when while I was giving one a goodbye hug I just gave her a lil smooch on the cheek.

i like to listen to an episode on spotify and set the sleep timer to 10 minutes

with their consent!
Yes! With their consent!
"love-person" is the purest term I've ever heard
Agreed on all counts! I have a sensory issue and cannot handle unexpected/uninvited physical touch very well, but my friends are huggers and are good friends who say "is it okay if I hug you" and acting according to my "yes" or "please don't".

theWeaverofTales it means they have a gay partner
Be True
As a Latina this is commonplace in my family but I’ve never been able to get into it I’m a hugger not a kisser
this may sound really weird but one of my best friends of thirteen years told me i smell comforting to her
the instant I smell anyone I exhale and DO NOT breathe until i am , y' know well enough away
I kiss my close friends on the cheek when I say goodbye. I don't do it to my guy friends because I feel like they'd be super uncomfortable with it though. It would be cool if I could though.
I was a huggin' Dan once...
Man once i huged a girl before going to my dad's car and he straight up scolded me for not kissing her cheek
My best friend always talks to me about how I smell comforting to her 😂
"It's 8 times more awkward"
"no it's 800%"
...
In my country is totally normal to kiss people's cheek as a greeting, so listening to this was an interesting experience..
